Select the descriptions that apply to the sodium‑potassium pump. The pump moves potassium ions into the cell and sodium ions out of the cell.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is necessary for the pump’s function.

Sodium ions and potassium ions move into and out of the plasma membrane by osmosis.

The concentration gradient of the ions determines the direction of movement through the pump.
